World's first 3D-printed car to be live printed, assembled during IMTS - The International Manufacturing Technology Show 2014 by Local Motors, Cincinnati Incorporated and Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

The goal of the Additive Manufacturing workshop at IMTS is to bring together manufacturing professionals who are interested in or are already applying additive manufacturing as a production resource. More than a 3D printing seminar, this workshop will focus on industrial applications of additive technologies for making functional components and end-use production parts.

A manufacturer that has succeeded for three generations expects additive manufacturing to be part of the reason why it will succeed in the fourth. One year into its investment in the technology, here is the company's experience so far.

The Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory is partnering with machine tool manufacturer Cincinnati Inc. to develop a large-scale additive manufacturing system capable of printing polymer components as much as 10 times larger than can currently be produced and at speeds 200 to 500 times faster than existing AM machines.
